Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Speaking of bones...... we just had our dexascans. Don has improved dramatically, 6% in one area. And he puts down diet soda as if it was GOOD for you. I cut back to one med sized per day, no coffee, about 1 cup tea per year, but I broke even. Some numbers went UP, some went down. That is so not fair. I have a normie who comes here and is absolutely determined to save my bones. Awwww. She insists I MUST have Fasomax and I, of course, am not willing to blow a hole thru my pouch. Gastric bleed comes on suddenly and by the time you " see " it, you need to be in ER. I already HAD 30 yrs history of ulcer. It's not like it got better by having a 1/2 oz pouch. ANYWAY, so determined is she to save me that she found a substance that is supposed to protect the stomach from abrasive stuff. The spelling may not be right, but it is: deglyzernizuized licorice, 500mg Also known as DGL OK, not only did I have trouble reading her writing, I can't read mine, either. So, fend for yourself in trying to figure it out. I'm all for trying to desensitize my pouch, but don't know if something I can find at GNC is " enough " to protect me from Fasomax, you know?

When it comes to the hamburger....1/2....and about 1/2 an order of fries...does me in. I HAVE gotten hung up on Diet Vanilla Pepsi....that doesn't start me craving...but satisfies any cravings I might have. I know...lousy for the bones and kidneys...but who can be perfect all the time? Where is this weight gain coming from? Scares the pants off me. It had better stop soon. I can't afford a revision if that is the problem...let's hope I haven't developed a fistula....that is always on the back of my mind. But writing down everything that goes into my mouth...sure doesn't amount to this weight gain....it's crazy. I see myself spiraling back up to MO...and as you know....it is terrifying~! > > Regards~ > > Jacque > > I was wondering about how much some of you can eat.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 So you can give Don the old raspberries for me! But, I'm really secretly happy for him...nice to see his improvement. I'm waiting till I can afford another bone scan...I actually can't afford not to have one...but am between the devil and the deep blue on this. Did Rene' do your scans this time...or did you go somewhere else? Do you know, by any chance, what she charges? Glad you at least broke even....it would be very distressing to see you come down!
